About this business

What used to be an old pineapple cannery is now Mala, the epitome of global organic fusion cuisine. It's not as complicated as it sounds. Chef Mark Ellman has his concepts straight: keep everything fresh, quantities adequate, use organic ingredients as much as possible and use no hydrogenated oils or preservatives. These strict guidelines seem to be working. Excellent seafood (grilled opah), juicy meats (organic chicken pita salad, Kobe beef burger) and sinful desserts (caramel miranda, chocolate mousse) are all wholesome an... read more

We had never been here before, despite 5 or 6 times to Maui!! What a great little find! Our friend recommended for us to try it!! My husband and I sat at the bar and had dinner. The place is small but go early. We had the beet salad and shrimp from the hors d'oeuvres and my husband had the cheeseburger. There were many other options for food that all looked awesome! Staff were very friendly and attentive!! Steve Nash was there the night we were!! We'll be back!! 

Business response:

Miss Walls, thank you so much for your kind review. We hope to see you again soon.

Beautiful view if you can get on the patio. Food was okay and the service was deceiving. Ordered an Arnold Palmer (ice tea/lemonade) with my lunch. Waiter got me a refill upon seeing it empty. Didn't notice it until the following day that I was charged $5.00 twice for the two drinks. Usually these drinks are free refills. The waiter should have informed me of no free refills. My wife paid the bill and didn't look it over. Our fault, however it will be a very long time before I go this restaurant and the owner's other two res... read more
